>> Now maybe they can take that extra out and carry over the next inning. >> So the bottom of the third, number two hitter Haley Beerman, who got hit by a pitch first time up, will bat 2, three, four here for Ashland against Beckett in a three-run game. The way we've seen this offense perform these last couple games, there's no doubt that five runs is well within reach. >> Absolutely. You know, obviously they they got to just string some hits together right now. This this can't be understated how big this inning is, right? You've you've got um >> is this Haley leading off? Yeah, it is. Yes. So, so you got 2, three, four coming up right now. Haley gets on base and and they can make some magic happen cuz she's got speed. That one's upstairs. They got a couple runs in response to the four scored by Whan in the first.
They look to respond even stronger here in the third. One ball, no strikes. That one's low. Two balls and no strikes. So, it does seem that it can be a little bit wild at times with that velocity. We saw her hit Buterman the first pitch. She threw it to her. 200 Pet Beerman showing bunt and pulls it back and takes a strike and it's two and one. >> Yeah, they do a lot of that. Uh I've noticed the clockers do a lot of the fake bunting uh when they get ahead in the count. Uh >> double-edged sword right now. You now you lose that pitch. >> That's a popup to first base and no one's going to get there. >> Just a little jog there from Kaufman at first base. Did seem like it could have been an out there. Yeah, the first thing just held up there, you stopped running when it seemed like she was like had a good beat on it.
>> And Sophia Becket was in a dead sprint uh going for it. So full effort by Becket unable to get to the ball. He gives Haley another life. Hopefully she can get a little opposite field single. >> Yeah, two balls and two strikes here. Got >> a shot, but it's just foul. >> That was a little more effort from Coffin. She tried to make that play which looked a lot harder. Just what I was looking for right there. That opposite field hit from Beerman who's gonna They got They're having a hard time getting around on Sophia Beckett. But if they can make contact, it's going to go keep this right fielder busy. I I think Haley can put one right down the line. Let's see if she can get sneak one past Kaufman. >> Yeah, we've seen almost every ball put in play towards the right side of the field as that one rolls in there and it's a full count.
And at bat, Haley, I >> think I just said earlier, I mean, this team could just, the Ashlin team could just start racking up runs. I think the last the game I announced for you, Mike, it was a very lowscoring game going maybe into the fourth inning or the fifth inning, and Ashlin put up like nine runs. Um, so, you know, muddling along, muddling along, muddling along, and then just bang, they break out. They have a tendency to have that one big inning a game. I'd love to see it happen right now. >> 3-2 ground ball to second base. Nice play there from the second baseman Carmeloitz. And there is one away. >> Yeah, unfortunately that ball hit just to the right side of the second baseman. It was kind of an easy ba easy easy play to get that out. Just unfortunate placement on that hard ground ball.
>> Yeah, he hit the ball hard. Hit the ball hard. Just couldn't find the gap. Nice play by the second baseman. So, let's see if Aya can get us going. >> Vendetti struck out her first time as she's late and fouls one away. And we've seen Becket pitch almost a complete game every single time she comes out. So if you're going to have that big inning, it's going to need to be against her. >> Yeah, she she's a talented pitcher. I mean, anytime you get a kid who goes 500 strikeouts on their career, you know, they can bring it. Um I I'm impressed by her velocity. She changes speeds a little bit. She really is really does a great job in the circle. So hits are going to be tough to come by, but you've got to get this part of the order to get some.
>> Here's the 1-1. That one is low. Two balls and a strike here on Vanetti. >> You saw the change of speeds there. >> Definitely pick with such high velocity. The batter get the bat the ball just make contact and the speed of that pitch is going to help you get that ball, you know, hard round ball or get the ball out of the infield. It's now three and one to Vanetti. Beckett hasn't walked anyone yet. the weekend. She >> did walk 86 batters in her 19 appearances this season. That is a low strike and it's a full count. >> That is a really low strike. And that's the second really low strike that he's he's called against the Clockers. Um >> that's why I can't do Sunday. >> It's an interesting strike zone. >> Here comes a 3-2. >> That one is ball four.
No doubt about that one. >> Actually, what you just said, Mike. That ball came up so low and I'm thinking he could have called that one. >> I may have I I may have taken off the headset and found that was gone strike. Uh thankfully it wasn't. And we've got we've got a pinch runner in here. This looks like junior Lexi Maloney. Lexi Maloney in to run for catcher Ava Vendetti. >> We saw a good game from her in the final game of the regular season. Had a couple hits. >> Now she'll take over the running duties. mutual friends. >> Caroline, >> Kyra, will back. >> Lexi's a threat in the base pass. Lexi is one of the fastest players in the team. Probably the >> second fastest player, maybe third. Uh Gustaris, Beuterman, and Maloney >> all have great speed. >> Kyra grounds that one to second base.
Carmeloitz goes to second for the force out and back to first. Not in time. >> Oh, and they're actually going to call Merlooney safe. Wow, the umpire is calling her safe. I don't know if >> was the foot off the bag or was she in the way? >> I'm not sure of the exact call. I saw Lexi slide in. >> Uh I I did see the safe call. We don't know exactly what the call is, but the coach is coming out to question it. Um, >> we're obviously not going to get any kind of explanation, >> but his >> Yeah, unfortunately, no uh umpire microphones connected to any speakers out here. We can't hear an explanation. >> Yeah, we won't hear. And then I I I've yet to see an umpire I mean a coach come out, speak to the umpire, and have a call overturned.
>> So, I'm sure this we're going to have runners on first and second. Yeah, we saw that time when we played baseball together where the umpires just didn't know what to call. They got together and then one of them called an out and then changed his mind, then they reversed, but then they chang the original call. It was It was crazy. >> Here's what I will tell you. He's he's given her her time and this is enough time. The Empire needs to tell her to get back to the dugout and get this game going. That's enough talk conversation. He had way more patience than I would have had had I been out there. Right. Well, I'm surprised you go to the cameras in New York. Nonetheless, we've got one at first and second for Colette. A big spot right now with two outs. Sorry, only one out.
She did strike out looking her first time up and takes the ball inside and once again is the tying run. Putting Lexi there on first base didn't run. It was a really a move. I mean, she was at the second round deep to right field and it's over the head of the right fielder and it skips over the fence for an automatic double. Maloney will score. Kyra gets to third and another ball hit the other way and Colette makes it a 5-3 game. >> Yeah, the hitting Laura like Colette continues to hit hot. So, that is a absolute bullet one hop over the right field fence. Uh just missing our camera. Thank goodness it didn't hit our buddy Harry there on the camera out here in right field. But we got a five to3 game here with Ruby up. >> Two runners on scoring position with only one out.
>> Uh cuts and misses on a really fast pitch there from Becket. I got to say Laura Colette is very very strong. I mean that is a hard pitch to get to and she just smoked that thing. It nearly got out of here the other way. >> People that like Cazadian grounds that to third. Oh, it gets by the third baseman. She comes to the plate and Kyra is out >> again. Now Kazadian will get down to second base again. Another another running decision by the clockers. I that serves to cost them. This is a situation where now we've run into two outs at home. Really unfortunate. Not sure why we're going there, but uh coach either sent her or she went on her own. I'm not I'm not so sure what exactly happened, but >> you can't really see everything at the same time.
>> I agree. And that ball was hard for her to the infield. That was an easy throw to home plate. I mean I mean if you saw the ball going to first, >> then you may think about sending the runner as hit on the side there. second time Ashine Clocker's been hit and she's holding at that upper leg there. Hopefully, she's all right. But I think that uh Kyra there at third base uh it got by to Julia at third. She didn't have a play and I I think Kyra might have thought that ball was going to roll into the outfield grass and then it was backed up very nicely by Kiara Hines at shortstop and unfortunately, >> you know, just a tough decision there. Yeah, that's probably what happened. But that's one of those situations where I think we've got to be talking. >> Um, again, I don't want to I don't want to ever second guess the third base coach holding her there would have been really huge.
>> Yeah. >> If there would have been that play would have been tough at first base to get all the way across and get that runner out. >> So, there was no force play. So, >> the thing to do would have been to hang on. So Ally Wilson will come in and pinch run. And I don't know, I did see coach Larry Sasso go talk to the umpire and write something down. So I don't know if Cresman is going to remain in this game on defense, but >> we shall see to find a uh at least >> Here comes Quinn Herder in a huge spot. Base is loaded, two outs. That one's upstairs. A walk could make it a one-run game. >> So you've got to be selective in what you want to swing at if you're hurt. trying to find a >> although we have no walk so far this game right >> we have one vendetti walked earlier this inning and the two hit by pitches as well so >> we'll see as that one's a cut and a miss it's a ball and a strike here from Beckett one for >> let's at third at second Wilson on at first and it's one and two now to her got to protect here do not want to leave the bases loaded and squander another opportunity >> another very low ball coming right in the bottom of the zone as Herder swings and misses.
She has to run to first base. Here's the There is no throw. >> No play there. Wow. >> Herder will reach on a strike out and a pass ball and the runner Colette scores and it's a one-run game. Talk about a gift. >> That is a huge gift uh for the clock there to reach on a drop third strike that sneaks past the catcher. Really heads up base running by everybody. Uh, you know, that's a situation where the catcher, all she had to do is go step on home plate and she would have had the out, but she just couldn't get to the ball in time and now it's only a one-run game. Still with the bases loaded with two outs. >> Here is Cashing. It's two and0. Single to right first time up and it's pitcher v pitcher here and Ashland has a chance to flip this game in their favor here.
Bases loaded, two outs, nowhere to put cash. He's showing bunt here >> and takes a strike. Two balls and one strike >> again with two balls and no strikes. That's what they've been doing. They've been showing bunt. >> I don't know why you would show bases loaded and two outs though to me if that makes swing no sense at all. >> That is a swing and a miss. So now it's even at two balls and two strikes. I think Cashion thought she struck out there. She started walking back towards the dugout. She does not do that yet. >> If you're not going to b, you're going to pull the bag back. A good stop there from Gordon behind the plate. That's a huge stop right there. Saves a run >> and now everybody's going to be moving. Three and two, two outs here in the bottom of the third.
This is a huge situation for the Clockers. The crowd crowd is roaring. 3-2 is fouled away. Good job by Cass to stay alive and spoil it. >> The Sunday base hit would give the Clockers their first lead today. Is that Ally Wilson? That's >> That is Ally Wilson's a little bit over their head with >> 3-2. That's a fly ball into center field and right at Calabra to make the catch and Strand the base is loaded, but the clockers do get a couple. It is 54 after three. >> Yeah, it's it's 54 after three. You can't help but be a little bit disappointed with a with a really bad base running decision there in that inning that cost them the potential for more runs. Uh that's that's now two >> two runs out at home plate which certainly >> cost them. Let's hope that doesn't come back to haunt the clockers in this one.
Uh they are now only down one going into the fourth in what has certainly been a a tough game. Holly comes back out to the circle to see if she can shut them down. And she's got a tough part of the order coming up. >> The um >> yeah, Holly >> pitching certainly changes the first inning buckle down quite a bit. She's throwing strikes first pitch strikes. >> Now here forcing those balls down on the ground. So, let's see if Holly can keep this up. >> And then we'll go and rely on the Ashlin bats to keep doing what they're doing >> and try to get some of these runners in. She said, "You'll minimize these field running >> like if the top of the lineup here >> for the Warriors. >> It's Hines, Goldman, only picking out like I would say it's maybe like >> Hines is one for two, >> but it's only struck out right now.
We're only doing >> also has a single. >> We're like trying to write songs. >> This is the big inning here. Keep it a one- run game. Get the bats back up. >> Yeah. >> Batteries. >> Got to give Becket uh the least amount of rest possible. She's also scheduled to hit in this inning. So, if she can be the third out and have to go right back to the mound. >> Okay. >> I like what you're thinking. That that would be that would be great >> uh to get a quick one, two, three inning here and force Sophia Becket to get right back in the circle >> as Hines pops it up into right. Back goes Sanders. Nice grab to her right away. >> She She's actually played a really nice right field for the Clockers this year. Limited action. Matt has just split time between the JB and the varsity.
But when she has had her opportunities and right, she's made some really nice plays. Tracks that one and we're we're out with out number one. >> Right on schedule. >> That one is upstairs to Eliza Goldman who's 0 for two with two pop-ups. Second base was supposed to collaborate. >> Yeah, Haley's been busy with her, so she should be expecting this one coming her way. >> Our league guitarist. >> Here comes a one. >> That's a good pitch there. >> One ball, one strike. >> Can you guys like >> That's a spot to live right there. That's a tough >> She can live in that area. >> You can maybe get out of this one. >> It's just a solo. >> There comes a 1-1. >> Swinging a miss. Good pitch there. Got that area. She put it right exactly where she put the last pitch.
And that that's the pitch that works. >> Chance to get two quick outs here in the fourth. Becket on deck. Here comes the one two from Cashion. It's a ground ball slowly hit to third. Colette will charge. Here's the throw and it's not in time. That wall was hit in no man's land in the infield and it's an infield knock for Goldman. >> Yeah, Lurai took a nice charge at that. That was that was just hit too soft. Not going to have a chance. I think the only way they possibly would had a chance at that one is if maybe Nico was in the circle and she was able to sneak sneak away. We saw her do that the last game and unfortunately this brings Becket up with a runner on base. >> Very lucky there that that ball went where it went. >> She takes the ball 0 for one with a walk.
